READ ME!! (EDIT) - I have finally FIXED the problems with this design by replacing the tripod leg and the cabling system with different materials. Watch this video here • DIY Jib Crane - My Fin... to see what I did!
(EDIT) - Felt I needed to add this because of an unforeseen flaw:
_________________________________
The twisting of the arm because of the weight of the camera being to one side makes it more difficult to use. At ground level, it tilts clockwise a bit, when it is mid-level (parallel with the pivot point, it is perfectly level, and when it is up high, it tilts slightly counter-clockwise.
I can fix this in post, and have used this on two shoots already. but it is a pain.

Lightweight, VERY portable, and achieves tilt.
Ok - the title is a bit misleading. I already had almost everything I needed to make this new jib. So yes, it only cost me $6 to make. If you bought the parts now it would cost approximately $25-35 depending upon how much the tripod costs.
I used parts from an old Targus tripod (mainly the legs) to create the arm for the jib, and then used L-brackets and a bunch of nuts and bolts. I specify at the end of the video what parts I used and how many. I also go into DETAILED information about how I made it.
Sorry for the wind noise in the shots outside. It was REALLY windy and my shotgun mic's windscreen was not holding up.
IMPORTANT - if you try this yourself, you need to start with a VERY STURDY TRIPOD as the source for your parts. You also need to make sure you balance everything very well!!
This was NOT an attempt to duplicate the CobraCrane or other design. (Though I did use that as a general direction) It was a challenge I assigned myself to see if I could make it using existing parts.
This design works very well and I am going to be using it on a shoot next week.
Does it look very professional? Not really - but I still wouldn't be ashamed to take it out on a shoot. It performs very well.
All Music performed by myself.
